Secret food tour

This is considered the heart of Vietnam's 1,000 year-old capital. Worldwide, food lovers refer to this area as heaven because of the variety of street foods and their complex flavors, ranging from small snacks to main dishes and sweet desserts. There are many family-owned restaurants that have been run for generations, and their special recipes and secret ways to cook delicious, authentic Hanoian food cannot be found anywhere else.
 
This area is also home to a beloved holy attraction — Hoan Kiem Lake (Sword Lake). This is a source of deep pride for all Hanoians and the starting point for measuring any distance. There is a traditional food market in the area as well. We experience the freshness of ingredients provided to the nearby restaurants early morning.
MEETING SPOT
 
We'll meet at Thang Long Water Puppet Theater - 57 Dinh Tien Hoang Street. If you have any questions.Your guide will be waiting with an orange umbrella so they are easy to spot. 
 
You'll start with a light and refreshing appetizer of nom bo kho, a green papaya salad with beef.
We'll watch how locals make a steamed meat and mushroom pancake, then enjoy it while hot and fresh.
You'll savor a bowl of phò, considered to be Vietnam's unofficial national dish.
We'll sample fresh fruits on our way to the Old Quarter.
Next, we'll try bun cha, rice noodles topped with grilled pork.
We'll sip sugar cane juice with cumquat or hot soup depending on the season.
We'll indulge in a classic bánh mì, a crisp baguette, cheese, pickled vegetables, sausage, fried egg, and chicken or beef.
